....Not enabled (if indeed an option) on mine (tested) and anyway headlights are not as effective as LED DRL's when assessing the distance of a faster car bearing down on you at high speed. Even dipped headlights dazzle and also hide the size of an approaching car.

Who's got led DRL's then Robin  :signLOL:  :P


One way or another he'll bring any thread around to this point!  :grin:

ATTENTION ALL FORUM MEMBERS: RED ROBIN HAS LED DRL'S FITTED TO HIS RED GOLF GTI!!

nice work guys. so we have determined that GPS is useless so no one will ever know how fast any car can go and that robin has DRL's!  :laugh:

there is some valuable unput in this thread including hurdys post that i find interesting. the gearing is interesting in particular as some think its only good for 153 whilst others sat 170 odd, will be interesting to see what revo /apr/ giac etc think but i suppose its unlikely they would say.

....The bottom line is that when the circumstances are appropriate, any speed over 130 mph is shall we say 'fun'. In the Golf I must say that I feel more comfortable up to about 130 because the car feels somewhat lighter above that and the power isn't there so much. It's not really designed for much higher speeds.

That's quite a nice phone - Where can I get one? Would want it cordless though.
